In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create sketch-like vector brushes for reproducing a pencil sketch in vector artwork. Then we will apply one of the created brushes in practice and get to know all the stages of creating this artwork. In this tutorial I used the Phantasm CS and DrawScribe plugins so you’ll learn about some tools of these plugins and apply them to solve practical problems.

I am sure that at all the early stages of learning Adobe Illustrator, each person came to the same question: “Where to place points when creating a path in order for the line to be smooth and easy to edit?”. Designers can do it intuitively based on years of experience, while others invent different methods and tricks. Is it possible to make this process automatic? I would say: “Yes”. In this article you will learn how to do it using the Dynamic Sketch Tool.

Today we’ll talk about how using InkScribe allows you to work faster, smarter, more accurately — in other words, more efficiently.

Mastering the new tool should not take you much time as it’s easy to manage and its user-friendly features are quite understandable.

I think it’s time to introduce a new tool that is able to work more flexibly and quickly. Today we begin a series of articles that will introduce you to new tools of the DrawScribe plugin and their functions.

With the availability of the recently announced Astute Graphics plugin for Adobe Illustrator, DrawScribe, drawing ever-nearer, it is time to introduce the second tool within the new product; Dynamic Sketch. A few days ago, we introduced its counterpart, the InkScribe tool. Whereas InkScribe replaced the Pen tool and allows for the improved creation of precise vector paths, the Dynamic Sketch tool is all about drawing more naturally in Illustrator.
